Digitalize to Boost Mining Performance
Despite comprehensive maintenance efforts in some mines, equipment failures still occur. To achieve an overall high level of asset reliability, it’s essential to invest regularly and significantly in equipment and infrastructure.
One of the biggest challenges for operators continues to be equipment breakdowns as well as the subsequent repairs and delays, resulting in:
Increased unplanned downtime
Potential safety hazards
Costly maintenance
Missed production targets

A large gap exists between digital strategy planning and execution.
To remain agile, competitive and profitable for the long term in today’s volatile environment, mine operators must focus on the critical need to integrate digital capabilities into their operations as much—and as quickly—as possible.
Digitalization can help boost performance for companies across the metals and mining value chain.
Potential opportunities include:
Throughput Improvement
Yield Improvement
Emission Reductions
Injury Reductions
10%-20%
2%-5%
15%-30%
5%-12%

Prescriptive Maintenance Solutions
Many mining sites have adopted digital technologies such as prescriptive maintenance to monitor equipment, predict failure events by providing alerts in advance of potential breakdowns and recommend specific actions that can be taken when an event is predicted.
Our customers are leveraging prescriptive maintenance to:
Integrate historical and real-time data
Identify potential asset failures
Enable efficient spares planning for your equipment
Automate data collection, cleansing and analysis
from all parts of the process and equipment to generate actionable insights.
by giving you a clear indication of when you will need spares so you can plan within your supply chain to address the problem and avoid downtime due to unavailability.
to help reduce incidents of spills and equipment stops and starts, positively impacting emissions and power consumption.
to minimize—or even eliminate—the need for time-consuming manual data entry.
